So i just got done putting it together (AX-10, SPEKTRUM DX3, NOVAK GOAT SYSTEM, AND HITEC HS-5955TG) And everything looks great and its been a while since I have done this and its probably just something stupid but I have steering and no throtle and tried to program the Novak ESC ......the light goes red then I let go of the button and pull the throttle till the light goes green then ur suposed to push the throttle to reverse and I do but the green light on the esc never flashes green like its susposed to? I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED TO DRIVE IT BUT I CANT SO ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATIED! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE ( tried to post pics but for some reason is taking to long so maybe later

So i figured that out like i said something stupid......had the esc pluged into the batt position on the receiver instead of the throttle now I just need to figure out how to adjust my steering on the dx3 cause i cant steer very far at all I need more steering

Gotta mess with the Endpoint Adjustment (EPA) setting. The EPA setting limits how far the servo rotates in each direction. Make sure you don't set it too high or the servo will try to force the steering knuckles too far. It actually has enough strength to break the arm on the steering knuckle.

thanks i just did all that stuff and it is much better now . I really need to get a lipo battery so i can mount it on the front axle.....I am using nice stick battery but its just too big to be mounted up that high on the factory position. It makes it way to tipsy

That radio only has a 2-position switch for the 3rd channel so it won't work for independent rear-steer but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of mod out there to change that.

No i am not going to do 4 wheel steer but I do really want to do a front dig? (is it front or rear dig when you disconnect the rear drive shaft?) i always thought it was rear dig but have heard it called front dig alot lately. Also like I was Saying, whats a good lipo battery for the ax-10 and a good lipo charger to go with it? I checked @ maxamps.com and they had good batteries but i cant decide what charger to buy.

I have the accu-clycle elite.check it! http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...article_id=405.
I love this thing.you can do all the batts. And you can program 10 batteries. its really easy. it also those two batt at the same time..
1 charger for everything you have !!!! got to love that. get it, you wont be sorry..
well I guess the size of lipo is up to you. how long do you want to run for?
I think is best to get two normal size batteries , then i big one.
I have a lipo 7.2 / 2800 and going to get another. Its lite .. thats the key word..
